Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012166492A1] A system for embossing a pattern on a storage tape component includes a storage tape component having a curable layer, an ultraviolet light source, and an embossing drum. The embossing drum has an exterior drum section and an interior cavity. The exterior drum section is transmissive to ultraviolet light and has an outer surface that contacts the curable layer. The outer surface includes a first pattern that is complementary to a second pattern to be formed on the storage tape component. The exterior drum section is rotatable about a center such that the storage tape component moves in concert with the outer drum section while the curable layer is cured by ultraviolet radiation emanating from the ultraviolet light source.
